Tom Forman began working in the movie industry in 1913 but his career was interrupted during World War I when he served in the Flying Corps. Forman acted in more than 50 films, directed 27, and wrote 7 screenplays before suffering a nervous breakdown in early 1926.

Separated from his wife and child, the 34-year-old director was recuperating at his parents' home in Venice, California. He was scheduled to begin work directing a new film on 8 November 1926.

Forman’s suicide was partly the inspiration for the 1932 film What Price Hollywood?
